Here is Minty Sunburts, for 's sister. ^^Her cutie mark is a picture of three mints on a silver plate. So unique! The Minty green was rather annoying to find, partically my fault-- I prefer to spend my money at Jo-Ann's fabric store than at Hancock fabric, for personal reasons. But this time Jo-Ann's didn't have mint fleece, so I found it at Handcock--- which NEVER happens. But I digress... My first Alicorn plush! I assume she is an alicorn, because she has both a horn and large wings, which were fun to make. Her hair was fun to do also--I stuffed it and then sewed on the swirls for detail. I hope Dappyyy's sister loves her More detailed pics to come~

It was all decided by her creator, Dappyyy's sister. ^^ Although, I'm glad I didn't settle for the off-green I saw at the first store I went to. I knew there just HAD to be a more accurate Mint green somewhere else.

Yeah, same situation here. A few solid minkys, bubble minky in pastels only, and then random plaid and ducky print minky. It's frustrating. Random, but why don't you like Hancock? I have the opposite opinion. I dislike Joann's. The one near me never seems to be staffed well, they have poor selections, and there is always a very lonnnnggg wait to get fabric cut/paid for. And ours is surprisingly overpriced. IDK.

I ALWAYS pack my wallet with joann's coupons because there is almost no limit to how many you can use. Your Joann's sounds exactly like my Handcock fabrics! I guess it really comes down to their staff and inventory qualities. The two Handcock stores by me have mean staff members who hate their job, but are STILL working there. They make me feel like a bad customer by BOTHERING them to cut my fabric. It's your job, isn't it? Lay off the guilt trip! :ahem: Anyway, I do wonder if buying online Minky is a good idea...I never like to buy fabric online because i can't feel it or see it's true color, but it may have to come to that if my customers demand minky.

Ohhhh man. I know that guilt trip feeling well. There is one REALLY grumpy lady working at Hancock, but the rest of them are sooper nice. I actually just applied for a job there. They need some young blood. All their workers are a little older. I hope I get the job. I'm too passionate about crafting to NOT work in a craft store.

You need to check this website out. It's called Fabric Diva [link] Their graphic design may be a little dated, but oh my gosh, they have NEVER let me down. And their prices are fantastic. They have lots of fleece in lots of colors. I feel that their on-screen color representation is not that off from what you receive. It's actually the best I've encountered so far. Now, I haven't purchased their minky, just the regular fleece. And you do have to buy it in 1 or 1/2 yard increments (depending on the fabric type). But if you are making several plush, or some big ones, it is perfect.

Awesome! I'll give that site a try. Thank you so much for the suggestion--now that I know someone reccomends it, I'm sure they're good! And I hope you get the job! I want to work at the Joann's near me, but I have to wait until my commission die down a bit
